Before You Start

Before you start this tutorial, it is recommended that you familiarise yourself with the content editor concepts.

Quickstart

1. Open a Project

Open a Project to get started.

If you only have access to one Project this step isn’t applicable.

See the 3.3 Opening a Project user journey for more information.

2. Create a Task

Before you can create Pages, you’ll need to create a Task for them.

If a Task already exists you can select it either from the Task Dropdown or from the Task Dashboard.

See the 3.3 Creating a Task user journey for more information.

3. Create a Page

Create a Page so you can start building content.

See the 3.3 Creating a Page user journey for more information.

4. Add Components to the Page Layout

Drag Components into the Page Layout to build out the Page.

A developer must have already created Components for you to complete this step.

See the 3.3 Editing a Page Layout user journey for more information.

5. Edit Page Content

Customise the Components on your Page by editing Content Items.

A different set of Content Items can be configured for each Locale-Variant combination.

At least one Locale must be added before Page content can be edited.

See the 3.3 Editing Page Content: Image Cards Example and 3.3 Editing Content Items user journeys for more information.

6. Configure Locales and Variants

Choose which Locales and Variants Components should be visible in.

See the 3.3 Configuring Locales and Variants for a Page Layout user journey for more information.

7. Tag Your Page

Tag your Page so it’s easier to find in future.

See the 3.3 Tagging a Page user journey for more information.

8. Create and Publish a Release

Create a Release containing your new Page and publish it to a staging environment.

See the 3.3 Creating a Release From a Task and 3.3 Publish a Release user journeys for more information.
